GASOLINE FILTER- Application led March 21, 1921. Serial No. 454,063.

To all 107mm it may @0f/warn.'

Be it known that l, JOHN C. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at High Point, in the county of Guilford and State of North Carolina, have invented new and useful Improvements in Gasoline Filters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a gasoline filter, and the object is to provide a device for separating all foreign substances from the gasoline while being pumped from a storage tank to the tank of an automobile.

A further object is to provide a filter, for the purpose indicated, which shall include a main casing provided with. an inlet and with an outlet, and particular means connected with the outlet for mounting a suitable filtering medium.

A still further object is to provide a main casing closed at the opposite ends by suitably threaded caps, the casing being provided with an inlet and an outlet, and a suitable gage, and means formed integrally with the outlet connection through one of said caps for directly mounting the filtering medium or element.

Vith the foregoing and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of elements hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that modifications or variations in the construction, may be made Within the scope of the claim, without departing from the spirit of the invent-ion.

In the drawings, the figure shows the device in vertical section.

In carrying out the invention l provide a casing 1() which may be of cylindrical form and ends,-an

adapted to be closed at both inlet connection entering one side of the casinO and an outlet connection extending through the cap, being threaded through an aperture thereof. A transverse tubular member carrying the filtering elements is mounted on the outlet connection, and it will be observed that owing to the relative arrangement shown, the transverse element is adjustable vertically with referc nce to the inlet, and that the angular position of the filtering elements with reference to the inl et may be varied.

More definitely speaking, upper cap Q0 is threaded for the accommodation of externally threaded connection 35, and a transverse on to the tubular element 36 is threaded lower end of element 35. The

opposite ends of element 36 are provided with filtering elements 37 retained by caps 38. The inlet is shown at 39, and the outlet is designated 40.

What is claimed is:

In a device of the class described, a casing, an inlet connection therefor,

a cap for closing one end of the casing, a tubular outlet member threaded through the cap, a

transverse ing, conn tubular member within the casected with the tubular member first mentioned, and adjustable vertically and angularly with reference to the inlet connection, and filtering elements extending across the ends of the transverse member, the latter permitting the flow of liquid from the inlet to the outlet, by a plurality of paths.

In test1 ture.

JOHN C. JOHNSON.
